scary!

will lead to user errors re = v == confusion (people already get
confused between "and" and "&&" even though the latter isn't mentioned
in the spec, and would be illegal XML) Also this would require a change
to XPath. (I suppose XPath will change one day but harder than changing
XSLT as there is no equivalent of the version attribute to flag changes)

a prefix form would be safer: same-node(a,b) although that's probably a
bad name since a and b would be node sets, even if they were "." .
